Letter Re: Multiple Advantages of ICF Construction

James Wesley Rawles November 13, 2011 November 13, 2011

Jim:
I am considering using Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) for building my next house/retreat back in the United States for when I feel that it is not longer safe to live abroad.

For a relatively small incremental cost in a new home (3-5%), you have disaster proof, fire resistant, fortified home. I found this brochure (in PDF) that describes some of the advantages of ICF construction.
